Minneapolis Proposes Its Own Wage Theft Ordinance
Not to be outdone by the State of Minnesota’s Wage Theft Law, the City of Minneapolis is proposing its own wage theft ordinance, which “compliments” its Minimum Wage and Sick and Safe Time ordinances. The new wage theft ordinance would allow the City to investigate wage theft complaints on its turf. On July 29,
Are You Ready for the New Minnesota Wage Theft Law Recordkeeping Requirements In Effect July 1, 2019?
Effective today, Minnesota employers must follow the new so-called “Wage Theft Law” (it is actually just a bunch of amendments to existing law). This is primarily a change in recordkeeping and employee notices, creating an administrative burden likely to cause many in HR to want to raise the white surrender flag. While I’m not a
DOL Issues Proposed Rule Clarifying “Joint Employer” Under Four Part Test
On April 1, 2019, the DOL issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), relating to whether two or more entities are “joint employers” for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). This arrangement becomes significant when determining overtime for an individual who does not work overtime at either employer, but combined, does (and thus,
EEO-1 Component 2 (Hours Worked and Pay Data) for 2017 and 2018 Due September 30, 2019

EEO-1 Surveys Now Due May 31, 2019 – Wage Pay Data May Be Required

Importantly, on March 4, 2019, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia held that the Office of Management and Budget’s stay of the
What’s Happening in the Minnesota House with Wage and Hour Laws You Ask?!
As expected, several bills have been introduced in the Minnesota House this session related to wage and hour issues. However, given we are the only state in the nation to currently have a split state legislature (Democrats control the House, while the Republicans control the Senate), it’s doubtful that any of these will actually get
Wage and Hour Preparations for the New Year
As 2018 comes to a close, it is a great time for employers to address lingering issues that have been on the back burner and start “fresh” in the new year. A new year is a great time to roll out changes for both administration purposes and for employees; new year, new policies. Here are
Employer Had Legitimate, Non-Discriminatory Reason for Terminating Employee Upon Return from FMLA Leave
Employers are often surprised to learn that employees may be terminated while on (or after) Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or other type of protected leave. The key, however, is that there needs to be some sort of unrelated intervening event such as in the case of Naguib v. Trimark Hotel Corp. On September 12,
